[ODE] dBodyAddForceAtPos

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

There is no difference between a box body and a sphere body except for 
the mass distribution.
What is the mass (or, rather, inertia tensor) of the sphere when "it 
doesn't work" ?

Also, adding a force that points straight towards/away from the center 
of gravity will add no torque.

Cheers,
